    hoping to read your story once you get on a tour! i should be back in my rusty Rota apt by that time, and you'll hear nada from me for a few months. i'll be back for the next big race here. you'll have to entertain the audience for the time and i doubt you'll fail in that PB!

    That would be prudent since their original configuration doesn't fly.

    Was that Terry's fault too?

    I had a bit of an "in" with the local multihull folks - there was a general agreement at the end that OR would like to do more of that - and we'd figure something out on how to get more people in. They can handle about 20 at a time.

    Also, I would guess that since Photoboy is a member of the "press" and is there quite a bit, he might be able to request a Pressure Drop member tour….


    I used some jedi mind tricks, animal maggotism and skills gleaned from " How to influence people" and got this reply back:


    Erik,

    XXX XXXXX passed along your request for a base tour for www.pressure-drop.us. At this time, we do not have base tours that are open to the public and we won’t be able to accommodate this request right now. We are hoping to have something available later this year, and you can check our website or Facebook page for more information when the tours are available. Thanks.

    They must have interview Iain before Oracle waxed them on the race track.
